Agreed. I don't understand why people dislike printing piece by piece. 
In the old FORTRAN, you could write only line by line, but this time is 
long gone...
With the various Put procedures, you have individual formatting options 
that you don't have otherwise. Moreover, there is a nice property that 
few people noticed: if you have an algorithm writing data to a file, 
with loops and so on, you can keep the exact same structure replacing 
every Put with the matching Get, and you will read your data correctly. 
This feature goes away as soon as you have a 'Image.
